Weighted-Hamming Metric: Bounds and Codes
Sebastian Bitzer, Alberto Ravagnani, Violetta Weger
The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independe…

Bounds and Codes for General Phased Burst Errors
Sebastian Bitzer, Andrea Di Giusto, Alberto Ravagnani +1
Phased burst errors (PBEs) are bursts of errors occurring at one or more known locations. The correction of PBEs is a classical topic in coding theory, with prominent applications…

Weighted-Hamming Metric for Parallel Channels
Sebastian Bitzer, Alberto Ravagnani, Violetta Weger
Independent parallel q-ary symmetric channels are a suitable transmission model for several applications. The proposed weighted-Hamming metric is tailored to this setting and enabl…
